## Summary

In a public procurement process facilitated by Babergh District Council and Mid Suffolk District Council, contracts for "Temporary Accommodation Services" have been awarded as of 21st July 2026. The procurement, classified under the hotel accommodation services sector, involves the provision of hotel rooms for temporary accommodation to support emergency housing needs. The contracts were awarded through a direct procurement method, essential to meet statutory housing duties due to a lack of competitive supplier interest previously. The contracts are scheduled to commence on 3rd August 2026 and will conclude on 2nd August 2027, focusing on the UKH14 region around Ipswich, UK.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in accommodation services, particularly those able to provide immediate capacity for emergency housing needs. The direct award situation indicates a demand for reliable service providers who can offer continuity and meet urgent requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the hospitality sector, like hotels and lodging providers capable of flexible and scalable service delivery, would be well-suited to compete in such tendering opportunities, fostering growth through public sector collaboration.

## Notice

The contracting authority intends to award a contract for the provision of hotel rooms to support the delivery of temporary accommodation services for individuals and households requiring emergency housing support. Lot 1: PS910,164 including VAT Lot 2: PS922,488 including VAT

### Procurement Information

The contract is required to ensure the Councils can continue to meet its statutory homelessness and housing duties through the provision of temporary accommodation. Previous market engagement failed to generate sufficient supplier interest or a viable competitive solution. A direct award is therefore necessary to secure immediate accommodation capacity and maintain continuity of service.
